The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and the economics practice at AECOM has published their 2015 Theme Index. This report ranks the top theme parks, amusement parks, water parks, and museums by attendance.

Atop the list at #1 - the most visited amusement/theme park in the world, is Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort with 2015 attendance of 20,492,000, a 6% increase.

The most impressive gain in North America came from Universal Studios Florida which enjoyed a 16% increase in attendance in 2015 (9,585,000) thanks in part to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They claim the 6th spot in North America and 10th spot Worldwide.

While LEGOLAND Florida did not make North America’s Top 20, it is notable that Merlin Entertainments Group which includes LEGOLAND parks as well as new Orlando attractions - The Orlando Eye, Madame Tussauds Orlando, and SEA LIFE Orlando - ranks 2nd as a company only behind Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and ahead of both Universal Parks and Resorts and SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment.

Orlando is the most visited destination in the United States and recently posted record breaking citywide visitation numbers of over 66 million people.
